I Got 4 Xmas Cards already...wooo hooo

Oh they are so cute... I love the way you have yr cards done.. :)
Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
I haven't gotten any :( :( :( :( :(
I haven't gotten any either. :cry:

I mailed off all of the ones out of country (except Canada) last week -so someone tell me when you get one of them. Mailing the USA & Canada ones off either today or tomorrow depending upon when I can get to the post office.
I haven't received any either :( but practically wet my pants a few times at the mailbox already only to discover stupid thank you notes :roll: I can hardly wait.

I took my pictures yesterday and I am so excited. I stumbled onto the exact picture I was wanting. I am hoping everyone likes it. I brought it into work to show my coworkers and got positive responses including from my brother who is an amatuer photographer.

I am mailing my out of the continent today. The rest will go out by the end of the week so as to arrive after Thanksgiving.

In the meantime I am anxiosuly awaiting my first card at the mailbox and hope I don't make too big a fool of myself in front of my neighbors when it arrives.
This is going to be so much FUN!!! :excited: I'm using a picture of Drez from last Christmas because the dear girl is having so much trouble getting around lately that for me to pose her would NOT put her in a good mood! The ones I have from last year are pretty good, so I hope no one minds! It's still my baby girl, just a year younger! :roll:

My are all ready to go, just have to get them to the post office. Woohoo!!! :yay:
My overseas ones went in the mail today. Canada will be at the end of the week, USA next week. I'm getting excited!
Okay once again, would someone please send me the christmas card list !
Thanks!!
Ali
Ali, you need to PM Drezzie's mom and ask if you can be added onto our list and vice versa. :) That way people have your address as well! I know people want to send your a card. You need to post more so you can see these deadlines!!! ;) :lol:
All mine went out last thursday, all international 8O

I have 2 so far and now I am addicted to the mail box everytime the postie arrives. Boy this is a lot of fun & so wonderful, the cards are just fantastic & makes christmas time even more special. :D
I'm trying to get on the stick! Bought my cards last night, and did the labels today!

I haven't gotten any yet though... Can't wait for the flood of cards to start :excited:
I got my first one today!! All the way from Australia!
(very nice BTW!)

I guess I am excited too...


Shellie
I ordered cards last week and I'm waiting impatiently.
Received 2 sheepie holiday cards today-from the UK
and Australia....

Love it !!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:


Thank You! :D :D
Got my Australia card today, too!
Ok, I ordered mine today. But I still haven't gotten any :( :(
I didn't get one today. :evil:













okay, mail is slower up here, but still :twisted:
I got mine from Lisa today too!! Beautiful picture of the girls!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening . . .

:yay:
Harry and I ran out to the mailbox (he likes to go with me to get the mail) but sadly there were no holiday cards :( We have the world's worst post office :evil: ) But we are keeping our fingers (paws) crossed for tomorrow
YAY!! I got mine from Lisa today :D
What a great picture!

We are working on it! :D

oooh, you hand delivering your card to me by dog sled? :D

Wouldn't that be cool. To have a sheepie come to your door with the mail? :)

I am so stressed. I need to get mine out, but I have people pulling from so many directions to get me to do this or that for soldiers or their spouses. We're wrapping gifts tomorrow for a fundraiser. I wish I could pay someone to put the addresses on these cards. :twisted:
I even went out this afternoon and brought a mega sized christmas card hanger with lots of pegs 8O It's up now with 2 cards already on it, the only chrissy decorations up so far :lol:

Just print out the list, cut out each address and tape them to the envelopes. :twisted:
Or print them on labels!!
I got my Baton Rouge card from Lynette and Ausi card from Lisa - I love them - thank you xxxxxxxxx
Wal-mart seems to sell Avery labels quite inexpensively, from what Joan and I saw there. As in "Darn it, I sure wish I hadn't have bought those labels at Staples last year, look at these prices!"
hey do what everyone else does, nick em from the office supplies cupboard - he he, I've even printed Kim's off for her la la la la xxx
Shhhhh. :roll: We don't condone clipping supplies from the cabinetry around these parts.

Did you print them and then mail them to her? If so, did you use her label that was on the sheet? She won't be needing that one! LOL 8)
well I do beg your parden, let just say I borrowed them then lol

No I left the label on lol
I did my addresses by label too! No one can read my horrid handwriting! Hopefully the international one will go out tomorrow!!! This is so much fun! I need to clear off my mantel for all the cards coming :)
I got mine from Lisa too!! What a lovely card!!!
I got one, I got one! (Lisa's - its cute too) I had to go out in my PJ's this morning and check the mailbox!
Thank goodness I live on a gravel road with little traffic. It was flannel PJ's anyway :lol: .
I got my first card today too! :excited: :excited: :excited:

I called home from work and sent Jack who is home from college out with Harry to check and sure enough there was the one from Lisa (too cute).
I received my first card. :yay: It was from Lisa. :yay: The card is beautiful and a beautiful sheepie too. Thank you. :D This is soooo much fun!
Still notta. I'll go sit in a corner by myself now.



I've been checking my mail the second they come too. I just stand there and pretend to be walking Yuki... ;)
Jo,
I am sorry you haven't received any cards yet.
Maybe you'll get one tomorrow? :D
If you don't get one tomorrow I'll e-mail you a card :D
I got a card today!! WOO WOOO....I had to take a break just to tell everyone this is awesome!!! Such an adorable card too.

xoxoxoxo

It's like mini christmas presents wrapped in an envleope. I love seeing people get together like this!

Happy Holidays!

We've reached top speed , Jo.

Put on the tea kettle :mrgreen:

Awee. That made me smile.

I'm so glad you guys convinced me to try the labels. I found some in the garage, played around with the margins, and got them printed!!! It feels good to do things for the first time, no matter how easy ;)

I have no excuse now not to send them out tomorrow. Lil J has a dr appt at 8a.m. so i can't even say I slept in so i didn't send it out! :)
Yea! I got my first card too (yesterday)! Steve was so amazed that Lisa sent a card straight from Australia on recycled Australian paper :D When I told him we were doing the card exchange this year, he rolled his eyes :roll: Secretly, I know he's going to be excited every time he sees a card I have propped up on top of Fozzie's crate.

Since I've been a kid, I've always loved to go to the mailbox even when I know there's nothing but junk mail and bills inside :D

me too!!! esp. when i was first on my own. every time i would get a bill, i'd get excited since back then... it was the only mail i got. i don't know how all these stores got my address. :oops:
Well I couldn't stand the anticipation any longer. I mailed all the Canada and USA cards out today.

We got Lisa's card in the mail and it was great. Now we have to decide how to show all these cards we are expecting. :lol:

Hey Ron can we make a new album for Christmas Cards/Pictures 2006 where we can post all of them for those that didn't participate in the card exchange to see?

Yes, a great idea... but AFTER Christmas! :D

Fair enough?
Hi,

I also wanted to pipe up and say I've already recieved two wonderful cards!! Thanks!

If anyone didn't take part in the card exchange and wanted a card just send me a pm and I'll be happy to send one out. It's not about whether you owe me one in return either. Last year I didn't take part and a few people sent me cards anyway..I was so appreciative and they made me smile!! I'd like to pass along the spirit of giving.

Marianne and the boys
I have received 5!!!!! Cards. :yay: :yay:

And they are just beautiful and I just loooove the christmascardlist
:hearts: :clappurple:
I received my second card today from zahra. What a beautiful sheepie she has.
I got to do the dance of joy today! I got something from lisaoes and zahra! :D

so much fun!!! wish we did this twice a year. :lol:
I'm still waiting for the darn postie to arrive today, I AM NOT ADDICTED TO THE MAIL BOX. :excited: :twitch:
Lisa,

Did you get ours yet? I sent them off and I know my in-laws got the one I sent to England so I am thinking you should get yours from us pretty soon.
Wynette - I love my card - is that your husband in the santa outfit ?? lol

ps - London got soooooo big xxx

Noooooooo not yet, hopefully tomorrow(friday), otherwise I sweat it out till Monday. Buggar, darn post into OZ seems to take 7-10 days from O/S.

That's why I posted mine early, but goodness they arrived quicker then what we get here. 8O :lol:

Any Canadians received any yet? or are your postal services as slow as ours from incoming international mail?
I got mine from Lisa yesterday! Such cuties!
Our local animal rescue group does Pets with Santa every year as a big fund raiser. They get the local Harley Davidson store to donate a room in their store where the photos can be taken. Our Christmas Card picture was taken there. The man dressed as Santa is a retired Doctor that rides Harleys and donated his time to the cause. I don't know who he is but I promise it isn't my husband or all 3 of the dogs would have been up on his lap licking him with butts wiggling for the picture. :lol:

This is a picture of my husband earlier this year:

Image

As you can see, he definitely isn't the one posing as Santa. :lol: :lol:
Wynette, I haven't received your card yet but your husband would definitely need some padding to play Santa. He's cute by the way! :wink:
I got 5 now wooo hooo Lovely cards thank you lisa,wynette,kimberley,dawn, and joan ooohhh this is so much fun i can't wait for the post.. :yay:
Wynette IT CAME TODAY :excited: :yay:

How the heck did you get all 3 of them to sit so well, Hmmmm I think santa was holding the reins. 8)

Sam and lucky there might be stow-a-ways on the sled if we can get our big butts to squeeze in, we do get santa here a day earlier then you. :wink: :lol: :lol: Shhhh don't tell our Mom. :P
Oh I got 4 Today Yep eeeee Lovely cards thank you ann e, judi,amanda & melissa, and paula O
I FINALLY GOT A CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact I got FIVE today :excited: :yay: :excited: :yay: :excited:
I have two cards so far! so exciting!!
FIVE?!?!?!?

That means they'll be coming my way soon. YAY!!! I love getting them. I got 0 today. Lots of junk mail :)
Yay! I got 3 sheepie cards and 1 basset card. This is so fun. For the price of postage, it more than pays for itself.

I've got to get some garland this afternoon to hang them on. I need one for sheepies, one for bassets! It will be my 1st Christmas decorations up this year. (I love fall colors and decorations - I never put any Christmas up until Thanksgiving is over and done.)
I got a TON of cards today...

The cards I oredered showed up today.... Yay! :lol:

I love'em! Do I HAVE to send them away? :roll:
YES
YES
But... but... they're like ..... family :(
LMAO Ron :lol:
WHAT ARE WE?? Chopped LIVER?
I'M WAITING :P :twisted:
Regards Auntie Lisa :lol:
I got oodles of cards!! All quite beautiful with their own little personality. I can't wait to see the rest. Money couldn't buy happiness like this!!

Happy Holidays all!


Michelina~
I got mine all ready to mail today :banana:

Rumor has it Ron is going to fire up the camping machine
and hand deliver the cards to each member on the
list. :twisted: Mulligan's driving :D

(This gives Joan time to shop to her :hearts: content.)
YAY - I got a lot of cards today - I love it! I have to pre-apologize as mine aren't as 'cool' 8) as the ones I've received! Next year I will improve upon my card skills . . . :wink: :lol:
I can't find the words to describe the happy, giddy feeling I have when I see your cards in my mail box. This really is my favorite Christmas tradition. :hearts:
My tongue feels so icky from licking all the stamps. blech.

I sent off another batch this morning. I thought I'd do them all at once (like I said I would), but I never had time. Still have about 12 to send off. I was afraid if I finished the last 12, the mailman may come before I got them out.

I'm afraid I FORGOT SOMEONE!!! I keep checking my list to see who isn't marked off, but I forgot to check them off in the first batch (all out of the US, and a few US ones).

I almost sent off several that had nothing in it (just address label)!
I am a Mail Box Junkie :lol:

Know the feeling J. my tongue ran dry. LOL and wirters cramp as well :?
My husband thinks I am such a dork for being on the Christmas card list and getting so excited. I LOVE IT though! I especially thought the pic of little "J" sitting you Yuki was adorable. I'm proud to say I got all of mine mailed off today as well. This is so much fun!
Mine are in the mail :banana: :banana:
I got my international cards sent! I'm waiting for some snowy weather to take the pic for the non international gotta get em out now cards, but mother nature isn't cooperating! and I have to buy another pack now too, I'm short by a few! Plus Pip needs a bath before he gets his pic taken. (Wait till you see my chop job on his muzzle! He looks like a beatle!)

I didn't get MINE yet :cry: :cry: :cry:

:lol:
Yours was one of the ones I actually sent out too. It's a lump of coal, so it may take longer to get to your mailbox Tasker's mom.
BBut I've been SOOOOOOOOOOO good this year,
NOT
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I got Marianne's in todays mail and busted out laughing. Thanks Marianne - after the weekend I had and today having it out with the groomer - it was just what I needed. Thank you!
I got a good laugh from hers too! You put so much work into it! I love the drawing you put on the back of the envelope. :)

I got yours today, BatonRougeSheepies!!! now I can't wait to see the outtakes. Three dogs standing next to each other and ALL facing the camera had to be hard. Rught when you have them looking, I bet Santa turned his head. :lol:
I got Mariannes this afternoon too, HA HA HA, love the picture, can't wait for the other half to get home tonight, I know he is going to ask is that what the locals look like over there 8O

And one from Bob the wonder Horse :lol: Stella,Zak & mark and Izzie & family too, boy this a so much fun, I feel like a big kid let loose in a candy store. :lol: There all just so special and wonderful. :D

It's starting to feel a lot like christmas La La La. :D
I put some (international) in an envelope tonight, but I swear I heard one of them whimper a little, so I didn't seal them up just yet.
AND DON'T FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As the season wears on we will need pictures of how you DISPLAY your sheepie cards :lol: This is my picture from last year:
Image

I saved my cards last year and I have been trying to think of something "creative" to do with them. I think I would like to put them together and make a laminated placemat but I'm not sure how to do it. Any ideas????? How fun would that be, Sheeepie Christmas palcemats!!!!
What about a montage picture in a big frame of all the cards to put up on a wall or bring out again for next christmas? I am thinking of that at the moment. So nice too that people have gone to so much effort to send lovely pictures with there OES on it, I can't wait for our next club meeting next month to show friends there the cards of everyones babies.

I know this year mine are keepers forever and hubby will have to put up with MORE sheepie stuff LOL. :wink:
Actually I thought about a montage, you know get one of those "poster frames" and fill it!!!
Aww thanks you guys! Glad I made you laugh!!

The photocopy portion I've noticed is a bit cut off (don't want to give too much away) but I'll reprint it when everyone has received their cards.

Marianne and the boys
Maybe Stacy can teach a webinar on decoupage!
Your excitement is CONTAGIOUS!!
I have sent all of my cards. I starting receiving some and they are all so wonderful.
I used to make christmas ornaments from christmas cards.
I think that is what I am going to try to do with these cards.
Then show them off on a special sheepie christmas tree.
You can cut them in different shapes and sizes and then glue them on to cardboard and decorate them with material or beads or things you can purchase at Michaels craft store.
My children used to use toilet paper tubes and glue the card around them and then decorate them with ribbon.
I was thinking of putting them into a scrapbook. So when I am old and senile in the nursing home with room for limited possessions I can pull out my book of sheepies to look at!
Maybe we should start a seperate post for "recycled Christmas card ideas!!!
I've started sending my US cards out - the 1st batch went out yesterday. My goal is to get them done today!
Then I have to start on my basset rescue's exchange - they've been neglected. I have about 35 in that group, so I better get busy!
I've gotten tons of great cards! Stella runs to the mailbox and watches as I open them up. Not kidding, if only she could pay my bills too, I would buy her some extra treats.
I am so amazed at how great they all are. next year I promise to be more creative with mine. lol
THANK YOU ALL
Mark
I know what you mean Mark, all the incredibly creative people put ME to shame!!!!!!!!! But it's ok, I figure EVERYONE can't be an artist and it's cards like mine that make you appreciate the others :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
My kids RUN to the mail box when they get home from school. They actually are FIGHTING over who will get the mail :lol: We love ALL the cards that have come so far. Mark we got yours yesterday....we LOVE your card! Every card with a sheepie picture is a treasure!
I can't wait to get home and see if I got your card now, Marianne! The one's I've gotten so far have been fabulous! I took them over to my neighbor's house last night to show off all the babies. :wink:
My cards are gonna be really plain in comparison to all the ones I've gotten so far... but oh well! Something to break up all the "monotony" of all the wonderful artistic cards :lol: I'm loving going to the mail everyday and getting a card. It's like having a gigantic extended family :) (oh wait, it was already like that, huh!)

My cards are going to go up my stairwell. It'll be great! I've just gotta figure out how to attach them. I'm thinking a string and then some sort of clippies. Hmm...
I've gotten 5 so far, and loving it! :D

Mine should be done any day now, so they'll be sent out ASAP...
I have got 12 cards so far, and you all are so cleaver, I just love going to my mailbox, :ghug:
I have the list Drezzie's Mom made, and as they come in, I've been checking them off, so I have an idea of how many more will come in :D

I can't wait until the mail comes today! :) Mine are officially all sent.

On a not so bright note, lil J is sniffling, not eating, and cranky. I hope he doesn't get sick over the holidays :( He brightens up every time I point to all the doggies on the cards.
POOR LIL' J!!! Hope he feels better.
I got my international (outside U.S.) cards in the mail today, plus ONE inside the US, because it needs to get there before anyone else gets their card from me.

How's THAT for a tease? :twisted:
Not a tease for me I am International HA HA :phew: :P
Who has gotten Joahaeyo's card yet??

all I can say is....AWWWWW...she did a great job!
Yes, I got mine today too! Very cute :D . Of course, look at the excellent material she had to work with. Yuki and lil J are adorable !
I didn't get any cards today :cry: and I haven't gotten Jo's card yet either! :cry: :cry: Hopefully I'll get more tomorrow!
I got yours today chris :D Awwww and one from Ann E Awwwww
and one from J. with Baby J, riding Yuki sooooo cute Awwwww

Looks like that is going to be my form of speach over the next few weeks
AWWWWWW :lol: :roll:

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM you've PEAKED my interest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cow:
I got a lot of cute ones today too!!! Drezzie's mom, if you printed those, they came out SO clear and colorful. I loved it! :)

I got SheepieMommy's card too and loved it. After that outtake, the end result was fabulous!!!
I guess I didn't send out ALL the cards. I was afraid this would happen. lil J put Raquel0312's Christmas card in the toy box. guess he wanted to hang onto hers. :lol:
Ok, I designed my cards, printed them, cut and creased them
and they are ready to have the pics inserted. I have not yet
gotten a good enough picture of the dogs... it is driving me
mad! I keep feeling like I'll just keep taking pics till I get
a good one, and the good one never happens. :evil:

So you might be looking at mine around Valentine's day folks!

I have gotten a bunch - it's so great to look forward to the mail
for a change! Like a little Christmas treat.

Shellie
I got 4 today. mariannes, Marys chris and Mark Love them all
Mark look at Stella now.. ooohhh shes so cute ('That tiny tiny little puppy)


Thank You!!! :ghug:
We took our pictuire last night, finally! Still no snow, but I think it came out cute, with the Christmas lights. Mike was making faces the entire time (purposefully- sticking his tongue out, grimacing, etc.) so we had to go back out for retakes. Honestly, some days I feel like I married a little kid!
I feel like that most days. :)
I got mine all done last night!!! :D :D Not only the 60 OES ones, I also got the 35 basset rescue ones done. 8O What a marathon.

Now the regular family and friend ones are another story....... I don't even HAVE the cards for them yet!
LOL Dawn,

I don't have a single inside decoration up (still trying to get motivated to clean first. Where is SuperCleanDarcy when you need her? Mayday in St. Louis Darcy) But I started working on family Christmas cards and I even took a picture of the boys with Harry when they were home for Thanksgiving to stuff in the family cards.

I only got one OES card yesterday. BUT it was QUALITY not quantity - it was the adorable Lil J sitting on Yuki. I loved it.
TA-DA....here I am...but I hate to tell you, I hate actual cleaning BUT it is a must...sigh...now, ironing is another story...send me anything and ill iron it for you....I dont have any decorations up either...I refuse to put the stuff up until the 1st weekend in Dec.......
:lol: Wooo Hoo!
after one week at the hospital I come home
and faun 15 christmas card in my mail box :hearts:
That make my happy and I become mutch bether
thanksto all of you :kiss:
Tove, that's terrible!!!! I can't imagine spending a week at the hospital! I hope you're feeling better. :(
I got lots of cards..they are all so beautiful. I love how every sheepie is unique. We started putting up our decorations. The kids have been asking for WEEKS. I have my wreath on the door and my candle lights in the windows. A neighbor who I havent met yet(she lives several homes away and we wave to each other) called to tell she that I brightened her night with my decorations. She called every one in the phone book with my last name hoping to find me.
Last night we hung the stockings on the mantel. The weather here is so warm it doesnt feel like Christmas yet. Feels way to early to decorate.
:( Tove: I am sorry to hear you where in the hospital. I hope you are feeling much better. :ghug: Get better soon!!!!!!!!
I mailed mine today! I checked them 3 times and again once I put the stamps on... Afraid I missed something. My fridge is getting full! My boyfriend thinks it is wonderul he goes to the fridge when he comes over, not just for snacks :lol:
Got 4 more cards today. Oh Leanne yr card is so cute lil J looks so cute too awwww...

:)
Thanks! I love your new avatar. :)
My mailbox was empty today........ :?
Postie has not been today, only morning here. Love your avatar Ann :D
These are so cute - I'm up to a lucky 13 cards!
Tove - I hope you are feeling better, I'm sorry you had to be hospitalized :cry: .
I also have no Christmas decorations up. However, I feel silly with my fall stuff up and need to get busy soon!
I'm not sure how many cards I am up to now, I absolutely love it!
They're all wonderful, but I think Joahaeyo's wins the sweetest card prize. :D
I :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: all the cards I'm getting!!!

Thanks!
:kiss:
I LOVE all the ones I'm getting to! I'm so glad we started this! :)

lil j said he knew the cards were going out to several ladies, so he wanted to impress them. :kiss:
Lil J sure impressed me!

He's so adorable as is Yuki!!!!! Good job Leanne!

In fact, I'm so impressed with all those I've recieved so far..you guys are so creative, talented and I appreciated all the cards!!

Marianne and the boys
Oh wow I just want to squeeze lil J. He is adorable.

Got 5 in the mail today woohoo. It has become a race to see who gets the mail first, hubby, son or me. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I got Rons card today... Thank you! What a lovely card my fav picture of [sshhhhhhh it's a surprise] lol lol
I just started putting mine up, it was so much fin to look at them AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put wrapping paper on the wall around the entrance to the LR and now I'm taping the cards around the doorway.
Since I wasn't on the list last year, I really didn't know what to expect.
This is turning up so much better than I could ever have hoped for! I got SEVEN cards yesterday and was smiling all afternoon from them!!

I will absolutely volunteer to do the list again next year, especially since it will be fairly easy - just have to update it.

WOOHOO!!!
I love them!!!!!!!
So I guess that means we have to stick around this board yet another year... :roll:

























































































;)
I got Tove's yesterday and loved it! Can't wait to get some of the others talked about (ron, darcy).
I love all the cards we're getting. It's so much fun to see all the dogs I hear about, and I really like seeing pictures of the people here.

Ours went out Friday, so...you should be receiving Pirate and Keira's picture this week.

I love this!!!!!
Another Christmas card saga...LOL...

I had planned to bathe the wigglebums on Saturday so we could do our pictures this weekend. But, as the week went on and more & more things got on my to do list for the weekend, I realized I didn't have time to do it myself. So, I called the groomer to make an appointment. Hurray! They can fit them in on Saturday for a bath AND there is a professional photographer there making pictures. Couldn't believe my luck. So...away we go first thing Saturday morning.

I won't bore you with all the details, but suffice to say that Genevieve was a good girl and my son, was the epitome of a stubborn OES. I honestly don't know when he's ever been so hard headed. :roll: I don't know what got into him, but geez....what a morning. :roll: We finally left there around noon. We had eventually gotten individual pics of them both but none of them together. One with me and them both. Hahahaha...you should see my expression....so much for that being my Christmas card. 8O

I did, however, have an idea on the way home which ended up being our card. Got them ordered late last night (early a.m.) I'm so excited to get them now! Can't wait!!
I'm so goofy about the cards. I look though them several times a day. I've brought them to show my mom. I save the envelopes. I don't even care if I get cards from non-oes.org people!
It was snowing here early this morning, and our post box
was overflowing with sheepie cards from oes.org members........

Can life get more perfect??

Thanks to everyone for the lovely and
unique Christmas cards--we love this tradition!
:D
:yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:
My mailbox was packed to the gills with cards when I got home!!!!!!!!!!!

They are ALL so LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:ghug:
I LOVE ALL THE CARDS! It's my saving grace to another lovely day at the office. I decided to just tape them up around the door way from our living room to the dining room. The pups play in our living room so I see them all the time. Steve usually doesn't care to look at mail when he comes home from work, but he starts looking at the cards without even taking his coat off :D I'm happy I was able to participate this year.

PS You should be getting our card any day if not already
I received about 8 cards today. :yay: :yay: :yay:
They are all so very nice. I think about the cards all day when I'm at work and when I get home I can harldy wait to get my coat off to open them. I am so glad I participated in the card exchange.
Thank you everyone! The cards are all so wonderful!
I just makes me feel very happy. This is just a wonderful, fun experience.
I can't wait for someone to come over and they see all my sheepie cards.
I am proud of them. I hung them on my closet door in the living room and I look at them when I'm watching TV.
Hugs and kisses to you all! :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

THANK YOU CHRIS

The list with screen names and dog names has been GREAT, when I get a card and I'm not sure exactly who it is I can look it up and KNOW!!!!!!

So funny to realize that people have REAL NAMES!!!!!!!!!!!
Got 5 more yesterday. I thought there were 6, but one was just the invitation to my nephew's wedding. :wink: I haven't gotten Ron's but please tell me there isn't a tick picture on it!!!

:lol:


I haven't gotten Ron's yet either... mine are finally done though! Woohoo! I can pick them up today, and start getting them mailed out. I hope they turned out ok.... last year was a disaster, I'll be so disappointed if this year is too...
I got a bunch of cards yesterday and they're all so lovely!! :D

And, I just got notification that mine have shipped, so I should have them in a few days. Hurray! Now, I've got to print the address labels so I'll be ready to zip them out when they get here. :P
I finally managed to get 1/2 of mine mailed out yesterday :) The rest of them are going out today, unless I get severe writers cramp!!!!

My display up the steps is rapidly filling up. I just love getting home and opening up the cards... If Mike can restrain himself long enough to leave me some! Every time I walk down the hall I smile looking at all the pictures!!!

I'm always explaining the cards to Mike "Oh look, there's a card from Drezzie's mom" Or "look, this one's from Jo! You remember, the gal whose hubby is stationed up in Alaska"! It's so exciting!!!

I finally remembered to take a pic of my card wall too!!!

:lol:

I had to do that last year too!!!

I'm' sure when Mr J gets his cards this year, he'll recognize a lot of names since they are a part of dinner conversations sometimes..
Has Mr. J received any of the cards yet, L?

Here's my card wall!!!

Every day it gets more jam packed! I love it :)
I haven't started making my "wall" yet. I think tonights the night!!!
That's a great idea!!!

Damn my contemporary house! Now I have to find someone else's idea to steal.
I love the lights going up your staircase!
I copied Sue's (bailey's mom) idea of hanging wide ribbon over doors and stapling the cards. Looks great!! I'll try to take a picture and post it soon.
I hung Christmas wrap on the wall (Doug said he liked the new wallpaper :roll: ) and am taping them to it.
Lil J ran off ...well, crawled off with ButtersStotch's CARD!!! He's literally in a corner talking to it. 8O :lol: I can tell he loves all the pictures he sees of doggies.

I got eleventy billion today (7 in normal talk).

I think the homemade ones are the best! So creative!

Darcy's is SEXY as ever, debcram's cute angels, McGee's dog made me laugh, and bge ...your lab crossing its legs is so cute.
I only got one card today :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I'll have to go back and look at the eleventy billion (7 in Mrs. J talk) I got yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
